# maximumPossibleForce

The maximum possible force for a touch.

```
var maximumPossibleForce: CGFloat { get }
```

## Discussion

The value of this property is sufficiently high to provide a wide dynamic range for values of the [`force`](/documentation/UIKit/UITouch/force) property.

This property is available on devices that support 3D Touch or Apple Pencil. To check at runtime if a device supports 3D Touch, read the value of the [`forceTouchCapability`](/documentation/UIKit/UITraitCollection/forceTouchCapability) property on the trait collection for any object in your app with a trait environment.
